The shelf era is over—and the rules of CPG growth are changing fast.
Artificial intelligence isn't just transforming industries—it's redefining freedom, opportunity, and the future of human work. This week on the Let People Prosper Show, I talk with Kevin Frazier, the inaugural AI Innovation and Law Fellow at the University of Texas School of Law, where he leads their groundbreaking new AI Innovation and Law Program.Kevin's at the center of the national conversation on how to balance innovation with accountability—and how to make sure regulation doesn't crush the technological progress that drives prosperity. With degrees from UC Berkeley Law, Harvard Kennedy School, and the University of Oregon, Kevin brings both a legal and policy lens to today's most pressing questions about AI, federalism, and the economy. Before joining UT, he served as an Assistant Professor at St. Thomas University College of Law and conducted research for the Institute for Law and AI. His scholarship has appeared in the Tennessee Law Review, MIT Technology Review, and Lawfare. He also co-hosts the Scaling Laws Podcast, bridging the gap between innovation and regulation.This episode goes deep into how we can harness AI to promote human flourishing, not government dependency—how we can regulate based on reality, not fear—and how federalism can help America remain the global leader in technological innovation.For more insights, visit vanceginn.com.

Glam & Grow - Fashion, Beauty, and Lifestyle Brand Interviews
A former Hollywood screenwriter with a sharp eye for aesthetics, Sahara Lotti turned her storytelling instincts into design innovation. Frustrated by salon lash extensions that were costly, damaging, and time-consuming, she set out to invent something better—and did. In 2016, she founded Lashify, launching the Fuse Control® Wand and Gossamer® lashes, designed to be applied beneath the lash line with her patented Underlash™ technique. What began as a personal solution has grown into a worldwide movement embraced by makeup artists, celebrities, and everyday consumers alike. Today, Lashify holds over 750+ patents and 1,000 trademarks worldwide—proving that independent innovation can stand up to an industry dominated by conglomerates. Through relentless IP defense, Lotti has become one of the few female founders to set legal precedent for protecting creative work. Independent, inventive, and unfiltered, she's built Lashify not just as a beauty brand but as a statement of ownership, vision, and freedom.In this episode, Sahara also discusses:Harnessing obsession as a driving force for successHow Lashify is transforming lives, from renewed confidence to weight lossExposing IP theft and the dark side of the beauty industryLeading global innovation in lash technologyThe brand's unexpected mission: a fierce love for dogsRevolutionizing lashes and the future of beautyWe hope you enjoy this episode and gain valuable insights into Sahara's journey and the growth of Lashify.

Harnessing Youth to Build New Clubs [caption id="attachment_14619" align="alignleft" width="297"] Ellie Ovrom with her Drent and her All American dog.[/caption] Host Laura Reeves is joined by Ellie Ovrom, Drentsche Patrijshond enthusiast, who has helped found two brand new clubs with just five years involved in the sport. “As I got more interested in purebred dogs and in performance sports,” Ovrom said, “I got involved with existing clubs and organizations around me, or in the case of the breed club, the national club, and as I was getting involved, I started to realize that some of the way that things were being done was not necessarily in alignment with my values and interests. “And not only that, but I was making connections with other folks in those organizations who felt very similarly. And rather than lean into conflict, which is I think unfortunately what ends up happening a lot in dog clubs, we realized that there's space for all of us and we just want to enjoy the dogs.” A project manager by trade, Ovrom noted that “a lot of the key skills of a project manager align really well with working in dog clubs or any volunteer organizations, frankly. It's a lot of managing process and managing people. So particularly in founding two new nonprofit organizations, we had to figure out OK, what is needed, in what order and how do we do this most efficiently and most effectively and try our best to get it right the first time. We don't always, but we try to get it right the first time, every time. “Nobody's getting paid for this. We're all doing it because we love it. And but people are busy. They have lives, they have families, they have their real jobs. How do you capitalize on people's skill sets and their passion without burning them out and building community at the same time? “I think we've had things that have worked and things that have not worked, but recognizing that the intent of everybody is good is, I think the basic approach that I try to take is everyone's doing their best or wants to do their best. How can you help people achieve that is what I try to do.”

Behind every confident smile sits a team that makes it possible … but what happens when the stress behind the dental chair becomes too much? In this episode, we dive into the unspoken side of dental assisting, including the office politics, burnout, and emotional strain that can quietly erode morale in a practice. This episode takes a candid look at what it's really like to be on the dental assistant side of dentistry. From the moment you walk into a new office, you can sense the energy and when that energy turns toxic, it doesn't just affect the team, it affects patient care too. We explore how toxic workplace dynamics, bullying, and lack of communication can make even the most passionate assistants question their worth. You'll hear first-hand insight about recognizing when an office environment isn't right for you, overcoming the fear of leaving, and rediscovering your value in a field that too often overlooks the emotional toll of the job. Most importantly, we talk about how dental assistants can help build morale fostering compassion, understanding, and teamwork so that every member of the dental team, from front desk to doctor, works together for the greater good. Because dentistry isn't just about teeth it's about people. And when the people behind the chair are cared for, the care they give shines even brighter.

What if midlife could be the most transformative period of your life? Join us in a compelling conversation with Chip Conley, renowned entrepreneur and bestselling author, who shares his transformative insights on embracing the midlife journey. Drawing from his pivotal experiences at Airbnb and his groundbreaking work with the Modern Elder Academy (MEA), we explore how Chip's latest book, "Learning to Love Midlife," challenges ageist stereotypes and redefines midlife as a time for renewal and growth.Redefining what it means to be a "modern elder," Chip shares his unique perspective on combining wisdom with curiosity. By reframing midlife as a "midlife chrysalis" rather than a crisis, he opens up new avenues for personal transformation and fulfillment. Drawing on insights from thought leaders like Becca Levy and Arthur Brooks, Chip and I discuss how emotional intelligence, social relationships, and spirituality are key areas for growth during this pivotal life stage.Finally, we journey through the concepts of generativity and life purpose as they evolve across life's stages. Drawing from spiritual and philosophical insights, we discuss how older generations can impart wisdom while embracing new purposes, and how younger generations can navigate the complexities of an AI-driven world. We delve into the importance of understanding one's life story and finding one's "ikigai," a harmonious blend of passion, proficiency, reward, and necessity. Let this conversation inspire you to see midlife not as a time of crisis but as a powerful opportunity for growth and discovery at any age.What You'll Learn- Why midlife is not a crisis; it's an opportunity.- How to embrace aging as an opportunity for personal growth- Harnessing the value of wisdom gained through life experiences- The importance of fostering meaningful friendships in midlife- Strategies for redefining one's purpose during midlife transitionsTake the Midlife Pathfinder Quiz: https://reportcard.meawisdom.com/pathfinder-quizPodcast Timestamps(00:00) – Learning to Love Midlife(13:09) – Midlife as a Chrysalis, Not Crisis(18:39) – What is a Modern Elder?

How will AI change the size, shape, and structure of companies? Where will we see new leverage points in the AI economy? How does AI mobe beyond task automation and into coordination of tasks? How does a manager keep from becoming just a cog in a system of automations?Sangeet Paul Choudary is a senior fellow at UC Berkeley, a consultant, and the author and co-author of several books. His latest work is titled, Reshuffle: Who Wins When AI Restacks the Knowledge Economy.Greg and Sangeet discuss Sangeet's latest book, as well as the work he co-authored, Platform Revolution: How Networked Markets Are Transforming the Economy and How to Make Them Work for You. Sangeet emphasizes how AI's transformative impacts extend beyond automating tasks to fundamentally altering industry structures, competitive advantages, and corporate strategies. The conversation also covers even broader implications of continued AI adoption like modularity in business, the shifting roles in professional services, and the creation of new economic control points. They provide a comprehensive look at how businesses can realign their strategies around AI as an engine driving innovation and competitive advantage for the future.*unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:AI as a tool vs. AI as an engine22:28: The idea of using AI as a tool versus AI as an engine is that a tool is typically something that you bolt onto your existing workflows—pick a tool from the toolbox, and it helps you speed up a task, perform it faster, better, cheaper. But if you're really using an engine, you're constantly thinking about how to redesign your entire workflow and your entire organization, your business model, around the capabilities of the engine.Bridging the gap in AI through storytelling and narrative54:19: Storytelling and narrative, in general, are such important skills today because we are in an age where we are information-rich but attention-poor. And the way to harness that attention is to have compelling storytelling and narratives that bridge that gap.How is the basis of competition shifting?29:09: The impact of AI does not play out only at the level of tasks—tasks that are inside workflows. So workflows get transformed. Workflows are organized through organizational mechanisms, so new organizational systems will have to come into place. And organizations, essentially, compete in an ecosystem. They help firms compete in an ecosystem. And so the starting point would be to ask ourselves—with AI coming in and with other forces at play—how is the basis of competition shifting? What was the basis on which firms previously competed? What was our basis of differentiation and competition? And does that change? Do some of those assumptions no longer hold true? And on that basis, if we can lay out some clear hypotheses and heuristics on what's changing in terms of the basis of competition, what does that mean in terms of the capabilities we need to have in place?...All of those need to come into question and need to be evaluated.Show Links:Recommended Resources:WalmartSheinPlatform EconomyLarge Language ModelTikTokSocial GraphThe Open Graph protocolErik BrynjolfssonGeneral ElectricPerplexity AIOpenAIBest BuyAmazon AlexaGuest Profile:Profile on Platform Thinking LabsProfile on LinkedInProfile on WikipediaSocial Profile on XGuest Work:Amazon Author PageReshuffle: Who Wins When AI Restacks the Knowledge EconomyThe Fast Future Blur: Discover Transformative Interconnections Shaping the FuturePlatform Revolution: How Networked Markets Are Transforming the Economy and How to Make Them Work for YouPlatform Scale: How an emerging business model helps startups build large empires with minimum investmentMediumSubstackRelated unSILOed Episodes:Geoff Parker | Will Every Business Become a Platform Business?Marc Levinson | How the Container Changed the World Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Many cities are becoming unpleasant to live in: they are getting hotter due to climate change and all the heat absorbed by the streets and buildings. But Stuttgart in Germany has been tackling this by carefully studying local wind patterns. Using the natural airflow they are cooling the city by creating corridors of wind from the surrounding hills. It's an idea which is being copied by cities around the world such as Singapore. There we see how new buildings are being designed to allow a breeze to flow despite the continued development.People Fixing The World from the BBC is about brilliant solutions to the world's problems.

What if I told you the secret to a truly seamless dental team isn't about skill, it's about connection? When the front and back office move together as one, everything changes. Genuine communication and trust turn daily routines into a smooth, consistent flow that patients can feel the moment they walk in. Every handoff, every small exchange, shapes how comfortable and confident a patient feels in your care. It's not about titles or tasks, it's about teamwork. When barriers fade and connection takes over, the entire practice runs with ease, creating an experience that feels effortless for both the team and the patient.

Empowered Relationship Podcast: Your Relationship Resource And Guide
Why is it that talking about desire and intimacy with your partner can feel more intimidating than any other conversation in a relationship, even when you've shared years—or decades—together? So many couples silently struggle with mismatched libido, lost spark, or simply the discomfort of broaching sensitive topics about sex and pleasure. When left unspoken, these issues have the power to erode connection and joy in long-term relationships. If you've ever wondered why desire seems to fade, or why candid discussions about passion feel off-limits, you're not alone. In this episode, listeners are invited to explore how couples can move beyond just talking about desire and actually grow it together. Through stories, scientific insights, and actionable strategies, the conversation unpacks the barriers to open communication about sexuality—from shame and defensiveness to the physical and emotional roots of low libido. Along the way, listeners will learn how to build safety, cultivate presence, and consciously turn toward intimacy, laying the foundation for a relationship that's vibrant, resilient, and full of authentic connection. Whether you're seeking new energy with your partner or looking for tools to nurture your own sexual self-awareness, this episode is packed with practical guidance to help you rediscover your spark—together. Dr. Diane Mueller, ND, DAOM, is a board certified sexologist with dual doctorates in Naturopathic as well as Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. She is the founder of the sex education center: MyLibidoDoc.com and hosts 'The Libido Lounge' podcast, where she helps monogamous couples create more passion, desire, hotter sex and better communication. Episode Highlights 06:23 Dr. Diane Mueller's journey from healing vulvar pain to embracing sexual wellness. 07:48 Navigating relationship styles and lessons learned from open relationships in the pursuit of lasting passion. 10:34 The importance of open sexual communication and overcoming shame in relationships. 16:27 Building a foundation of safety and how positive feedback strengthens sexual communication. 25:24 Presence and pleasure, and the mindfulness connection for enhancing sexual experience. 30:13 Embracing emotions in sexuality, including the role of anger and emotional expression in intimacy. 36:12 Identifying dissociation and cultivating presence to deepen sexual experience. 37:47 Harnessing sex for healing by using altered states and partner practices for growth. 41:36 Personal growth and relationship success with reflections on healing, compatibility, and lasting love. Your Check List of Actions to Take Start open and honest conversations about sex and desire with your partner to reduce shame and taboo. Give specific, positive feedback after intimacy to build safety and connection. Clearly discuss and define your relationship agreements and boundaries together. Practice being present during intimate moments through mindful breathing or grounding exercises. Try a sensual touch practice, like giving each other foot massages, while focusing on sensation and awareness. Reflect on any personal beliefs or shame around sexuality and seek ways to address or release them. Take time to identify your own turn-ons and communicate these clearly to your partner. Use physical intimacy as an opportunity to process emotions, such as through movement, sound, or affirmations.

It's true that the current attacks on our community are dangerous and disorienting. That's the point of them: to confuse us into giving up hope. But the Latino community has always been resilient, and we will rise above this. There are so many ways we can fight back and protect each other. In fact, there are tons of non-violent actions every single one of us can take right now if we want to. Non-violent action is one way we can pour our strength back into ourselves so that we have each other's backs. I've been thinking long and hard about this, and I've found a few ways you can get involved. In this week's episode, we're talking about how you can harness your fear and turn it into power. These attacks on our community will not stop us from being the greatest versions of ourselves. We will continue to grow our businesses, support our community, and thrive in every facet of our lives. We can do it, as long as we do it together. Resources Mentioned: Know Your Rights (Español): ACLU overview + shareable hub.

Why You Should Listen: Empowering Parents: This episode highlights how a nonprofit organization is shifting power to parents, particularly those from marginalized communities, by giving them the tools and platforms to advocate for their children's education. AI for Good: You'll hear about a practical and inspiring use of AI that addresses a real-world problem and closes equity gaps, rather than exacerbating them. Community-Led Innovation: The conversation showcases a powerful model of "co-design," where tech developers, educators, and community members work together to create solutions that are both effective and sustainable. Key Takeaways: Innovate Public Schools is a movement, not a network. Michelle and Sean clarify that their organization's mission is to mobilize families to demand high-quality schools for their children, not to operate charter schools. They focus on campaigns for black literacy, special education, and high-impact tutoring. AI-EP addresses a critical need. The Individualized Education Plan (IEP) is often a dense, 50-page legal document that can be intimidating for parents, especially those who don't speak English or have low reading comprehension. The AI-EP tool translates the IEP into a parent's native language and allows them to ask questions, effectively serving as a chatbot to help them understand and engage with the plan. Collaboration is key to innovation. The AI-EP project was a collaborative effort involving Innovate Public Schools, Northeastern University, and the Learning Tapestry. By bringing together tech developers and parents, they created a tool that has had a transformational impact on users. Parent advocacy drives policy change. Innovate's parent leaders have not only influenced local policy but also co-authored legislation. Their advocacy led to the passage of California's Senate Bill 445, which mandates that IEP documents be translated into the 10 most common languages across the state, benefiting over 800,000 students. The model is replicable. Michelle and Sean stress that their goal is not to be "gatekeepers" of this innovation, but to share the model so it can be replicated across the nation to address a variety of educational challenges. They believe that organizing around education is crucial because it is the "building block" for everything else in life, from economic stability to generational wealth. Don't miss this conversation.

The oil and gas industry generates extraordinary amounts of data from millions of sensors, yet only a tiny fraction, at most 8%, is actually used to inform decisions on complex and valuable assets. Decades of building analytics and machine learning solutions have helped, but they've also left companies with a patchwork of siloed systems and “industrial gridlock.” The arrival of foundation models in late 2022 introduced the possibility of moving beyond one-off solutions. But generic internet-trained models are not suitable for high-risk industrial environments, where accuracy, context, and explainability are essential. The sector needs something different. Applied Computing is tackling this challenge head-on by creating a foundation model designed specifically for energy. Built to handle time-series data, diagrams, operator logs, and unstructured engineering information, their model emphasizes contextual understanding, explainability, and zero hallucinations. My guest this week, Dan Jeavons, is President of Applied Computing and former VP of Computational Science and Digital Innovation at Shell. Dan shares his career journey, why foundation models represent a turning point for the industry, and how energy can finally begin to unlock the 92% of data it currently leaves on the table.
The river of life in determination sees obstacles not as blockages, but as diversions. And then, through the activity of that diversion, other things occur that would never have occurred. If the river of life flowed straight to the ocean, without diversions, we wouldn't experience the other aspects of life that we are not focused on…

Welcome to another episode of Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu. In this episode, Tom and his co-host Drew jump straight into the thick of current societal and political tensions ripping through America—from digital manipulation and global disinformation, to the divisive battles over identity, gender, and violence. Drawing from recent news cycles and online controversies, Tom and Drew dig into how global powers exploit social media to stoke division, and challenge their audience to ground themselves against the rising tide of emotion-driven narratives dominating discourse today. Together, they dissect the psychology and biology behind polarization, fulfillment, and violent tendencies, weaving insights from neuroscience, evolutionary psychology, and history. They also address why anger is such a motivating force—and such a dangerous one when unchecked—while mapping the intersections of male identity, cultural radicalization, gender roles, and the persistent confusion of contemporary masculinity. Part 1 promises a candid, unflinching look at how our minds, biology, and society collide, and why understanding our “biological experience” is essential to navigating the chaos of the modern world.
